Beowulf Bash Returns to SC13 on Monday, Nov. 18 at 9pm

Each year at the SC conference, the Beowulf Bash sets the standard for great parties. At insideHPC, we’re very pleased to be a proud sponsor of the event this year at SC13, and we’re particularly excited about their theme set around the physics of Newtonian solids, also known as Billiards.

Tired of the same old SuperComputing party where you get free food and booze by pretending you’re interested in some vendor products? We thought so. That’s why we’re offering free food, booze, and a pool tournament. We still have great vendors supporting this community event, so be nice and listen to what they have to say. This year, we convinced the Wynkoop Brewing Company to open up their doors to a group of world-class HPC mavens and the rest of us who want free food and beer. The top floor is a game room where the Spherical Newtonian Solids will be racked up for the pool tournament. There will also be a band and places for quiet conversation where you can debate the merits of big data quantum computing in the cloud and/or Miley Cyrus.
